I think you should go hard and get the information out there (if you have'nt already done so that is) Nobody likes car thieves, put notices in the local newspaper and nearest regional centre newspaper, make some copies and place them on notice boards, talk to all the neighbours in your area, if you can post up a reward for info leading to the recovery do so, cruise around with a mate check out the local car hangouts see if you can spot it and keep in mind they could have altered it or sold it to someone who does'nt even know its stolen. Good luck in the search.

4 months ago?

I'm sorry but there really would be NO chance of getting that back.

it would be in many parts by now.

I'll hold back on what I think of the "removal" of alarm and insurance.

Alot of us may have been thinking that but no need to dash his/her hopes like that.

I remember a supra being stolen a couple of years ago and it turned up 9 months later in a storage garage in ipswich. Only reason it was found was because the 'owner' forgot to pay the rent for the garage....

It might still turn up :blush:

hey there sorry to hear about your loss, I had 2 dirt bikes stolen from me this year so know how ya feel. might help to maybe put up the rego plate, and engine and chasis numbs and stuff like that. just a thought. oh and if anyone hear knows anyone with a stolen yamaha yz250 2 stroke or yamaha yz450f 4 stroke, both 07's feel free to let me know, cheers.

alright..

He's right you know. Sorry for the loss dude, but this is a valuable lesson. DON'T DRIVE WITHOUT A LICENSE, DON'T DRIVE WITHOUT INSURANCE AND ALWAYS HAVE AN ALARM! Skylines are a big target. None the less, i will keep my eyes and ears open, i hate thieves.

It's really sad to hear - So many scum around.

You should be pulling all your strings trying to find this, not just think about it, but do it. It's to much money to just let slide away.

In the end though, you have learned more than 1 valuable lesson.

Hope you come back to read the replies to this thread, becuase everyones input could play a roll in finding your car :banana:

Don't be shy to put up your car pics + rego as well..

Is it just me, or does this read like a joke? seriously sounds like some 15 yr old with no life just making random posts to get people to pay attention to him.

And if it is true. Then serves you F-ing right. Driving around with no licence with no insurance. what if you hit another car ? how you going to pay for the other person's car? what if you hit a 150k bmw or something similar. u would be up shit creek.

Better of been registered at least. cause if you hit a person and crippled them for the rest of their life, how would u pay then?!

People like this give any young driver a bad rep and dont deserve a car, having a car is a privilage not a right.

thanks so much to the people that have posted 'nice comments' there i really do appreciate evrybodys input..and to the others. if i could of got insurance i would of ay, you dont know my situation so you cant say nothing about it.. yeh ive learnd my lesson alright neary 20,000 gz down the drain so i really dont need people tellin me shit i already know. the purpose of me joining up on this is was not for people to tell me what i should of done but because evrybody knows somebody right? and maybe just maybe somebody out there has a neighbour or a friend who all of a sudden has a skyline or whatever i dunno. when i was 14 y.o i said to myself im ganna have a skyline nearly every single day and i worked very very very hard to get my car and i did i got it when i was 17.... i dont need people talking shit about me, i already been through enough shit.

but thanks anyway but keep posting comments its good to see everybodys opinions...

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
